Anyone leaving/keeping Girlfriends/ Boyfriends when they come to Bristol?

Just out of curiosity, after a heated debate with my friend today, about whether long distance relationships can stand the challenge of parting ways and going to different uni's...I personally siad I felt that it would be pretty hard to stay together, (but fair play to the couples that do and are willing to try)...but my mates in a conflict as to whether to end it with his lady now and save the heartache...this must be the same story for a few of you guys and gals out there...just curious as to everyones opinions...

p.s...can't wait till October! Bristol Baby!!

I'm going to Bristol in October and leaving my girlfriend back in the North West (nr Liverpool). Its going to be difficult but not impossible I think. I am not of the mentailty where I want to go out and pull people every night so that part of the social life at university I don't think I would miss out on much. I don't see why relationships should interfere with your life at university, i'm gonna have just as good a time without making out with other people etc. To make it easier shes going to come and visit me from time to time and i'll go back home sometimes, just to reduce the time that we're apart.

We can't guarantee that we'll make it through, but were both gonna try as hard as we can to do it cause its what we both want. I couldn't find someone as great as her if I looked forever, and for me thats something worth fighting for :smile:

Long distance relationships usually don't work, plus think of all the new ppl you can meet at uni. Also, what do you hope to get out of your high school relationship? Marriage?

yea im the same - just started seeing someone. Been trying not to get involved really!! but i HATE it when people have 'arrangements' to break up for university...yeah a long distance relationship probably wont work but why kill it before its actually dead. My plan is just to be honest - say it'll be hard etc but wait and see what happens!!!

Ock! It's a terror isn't it?! I was with my bloke for two years we broke up about three weeks ago now, I think it all started going a bit pear shaped because I was going to uni to be honest and I think he thought making "arrangements" to keep him occupied whilst I was gone was the best idea....hmmm idiot. But I'm glad to say that the thought that's driving me forward is the possibility of being able to meet someone that I would probably never have had the chance to meet without going to uni and meeting a load of new people...bringing him home and shoving it in his face! Ahhhh revenge is bliss... :cool:

My ex and I stayed together when he went to uni and lasted another year. I would definitely recommend it if you don't fancy splitting just for the sake of it. We got so much out of the relationship for a lot longer than we otherwise would have done.

yea atleast its breaking up in the best way possible if thats what happens, rather than ending up hating each other or something!

I hope it doesnt happen, but you'll never know what might of been unless you try. i'd hate to end it and end up a crazy old lady all on my own, when i could be with him!

exactly. no point breaking up just cos such a relationship "would be hard". give it a go and see what happens. i plan to :smile:

if it starts to become a problem, we can sort it out from there, but im not gonna make a potential problem into a current one

Long distance relationships can work, sometimes... for example... one of my friend's was with her boyfriend for about six months before he moved to Australia. They split up and stayed friends, but gradually realised that they really do want to be together - so instead of going to university over there, he's moving back here (his dad still lives here) and they'll be at uni about thirty minutes away from each other. She's spending the summer in Australia with him, then they're flying back together.

So the moral of this little story is... whether you split up or not, if it's meant to be, it'll work out anyway. :smile:

(not that this affects me in anyway as I'm single, I just thought it might cheer some coupled-up people up a bit :biggrin:
